Embodiment Construction

[0035] Now, preferred embodiments of the digital image providing system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings.

[0036]FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an embodiment of a digital image providing system according to the present invention where the system is provided at a photo-studio / a studio.

[0037] This system mainly includes a digital camera 10, image processing devices 20, 30, a photo-printer 40, an encrypting / decrypting device 50 and a customer information database 60.

[0038] The digital camera 10 sends out original image data to the image processing device 20 over interface such as IEEE 1394 each time it takes digital picture of a customer at a studio.

[0039] The image processing device 20 includes a personal computer (PC) with software corresponding to various types of image-processing and processing of printing order or the like. The image processing device 20 stores image data of an original image captured ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a digital image providing system comprising a processing information obtaining device which obtains processing information for performing required image processing on an original image of a customer taken at a photo-studio, an encrypting device which encrypts the obtained processing information, a decrypting device which decrypts the encrypted processing information, and a device which records the original image of the customer and the encrypted processing information of the original image in association with each other on a recording medium to be provided for the customer or uploads them to a server accessible to the customer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a digital image providing system, and more specifically to a technique for providing a customer a digital image taken at a photo studio or a studio rent for photo-taking. [0003] 2. Related Art [0004]FIG. 7 is a diagram for illustrating a conventional work flow at a photo studio from registering a customer to outputting a photo print. [0005] As shown in FIG. 7, a customer is registered at the reception of a photo studio (step S10) and taken a digital photograph with a digital camera, from which or from whose recording medium, the taken image is captured into an image database (step S12). Then, the image taken by the digital camera is displayed on a display device at the photo studio and presented to the customer to let him select an image to be printed (step S14). [0006] An image processing device at the photo studio keeps the digital image selected at the presentation, and performs i...
